POOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!

And thus, Knuckles punched Surge back to normal. Banishing the Metal Virus back to her subconscious.

Art I had commissioned from the phenomenal @SETHWIJEZ on Twitter!

This is a scene from this chapter of my fic "Come As You Are."

[lead-to-light]

whisper, we all know your a good shot, but I have a real test for you.

Shoot an apple off of Surges head, William Tell style. without missing.

"And you're trusting me to do this?" Whisper asked, watching the tenrec toss the apple up and down.

"Well if you hit me, You have two options admit you hit me on purpose and deal with everyone being mad at you or admit that you're a crappy shot. The way I see it, I'm perfectly safe," Surge said with a toothy grin.

Whisper didn't have a counter for that. Truthfully, she still didn't know what to think when Surge approached her for what she calls a 'trust building exercise.' No doubt the woman had read about the classic trickshot in a book, Surge being turning into an avid reader was not on her bingo card, and wanted to try it out for shits and giggles.

Deciding to appreciate the roundabout olive branch, Whisper had Cyan enter the wispon and took aim, "Okay put the apple on your head."

Surge moved to place the but realized something, "Pfft wait hold on this'll only work if I let my quills down." Taking her hairband off, her long quills cascaded down, allowing her to place the apple on her head. "Now I'm ready," Surge said with a soft smile, secretly very excited.

Looking down the scope at the tenrec, Whisper took a moment to take Surge in and was having trouble reconciling this woman being the same angry destructive menace she first meet a few months ago. She looked so…..content right now. With her quills down and happy smile, Whisper was forced to admit something.

"I can kinda see what Lanolin sees in her now," Whisper said quietly to herself as she began pulling the trigger.

Not quietly enough apparently as Surge shouted, "LANOLIN SEES WHAT IN ME!?"

The shout startled Whisper, throwing off her aim at the worst possible moment.

BANG!

A split second sickening squelch sounded out as the shot took out Surge’s right eye.

Dropping the wispon, Whisper shouted in complete horror, "SURGE OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY-"

Before she knew it Surge was upon her. But instead of a well justified beatdown, Surge had a completely different priority, "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT LANOLIN SEEING SOMETHING IN ME!?"

"SURGE YOUR EYE! WE NEED TO GET YOU TO THE INFIRMARY!" Whisper was not enjoying seeing the bloody cybernetic insides of her skull.

"I'LL WALK IT OFF! NOW TELL ME!"

Watching her face slowly knit itself back together surprisingly did little to calm Whisper down, "FOR GODS SAKE SURGE-"

"PLEASE WHISPER!"

It's those two words that got her to calm down and shift her gaze rightwards. Plain vulnerable desperation was clear as day in her intact eye. Taking a deep breath, Whisper got her thoughts in order, "Okay I'll tell you. But first you have to put me down."

Surge was leaning them both over so far they were perpendicular to the ground, Whisper impressively ignoring the blood dripping onto her face from Surge’s gaping head wound.

"Sure sure," Surge acquiesced, setting her down gently. A few seconds later both women were sitting on the ground facing each other. "So?" Surge asked softly.

"So when Tangle and I got wine drunk and hired the chaotix to investigate something about Lanolin, the thing we asked them to investigate was who she had a crush on. Vector and Espio purposefully spilled beans in front of the three of us and she confirmed it while she was yelling at us," Whisper explained.

I'm not gonna tell her it's full on love. I'm not taking that away from either of them.

A short life of made up of mostly agony trained her not to grab hope so zealously, "Really? You're not lying are you?" Surge said carefully.

Looking dead in the eye, Whisper said firmly, "Surge, listen to me. I know we do not have the best relationship but I would never NEVER do something as cruel as lie to you here. You are without a doubt the most important person in her life."

"She feels the same way about me the way I feel about her?" Surge said, somehow still able to blush despite the blood loss.

Oh

It was one thing to heavily suspect it but confirming it was another thing. How could two people so different love each other?

Well I suppose that's a silly question coming from me of all people.

"Positive," Whisper said, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. The tenrec stiffened and Whisper worried she had overstepped her bounds when Surge wrapped her in a hug and began sobbing into her shoulder.

"T-t-thank y-you," Surge stuttered out, staining her cloak with blood and tears

Once over her shock, Whisper hugged her back. Gently rubbing circles on her back and patting her shoulder. Letting her know she was safe to cry happy relieved tears as long as she wanted. It was during this that Whisper recalled something.

What was it that Claire said once? History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme

Drawing request if you're taking any

Tumblr wormhole shenanigans with the different AU Surges?

I'm only a little tired of drawing Surge after all this.

Oh, and have a bonus little teaser for my next big fic

[all-together-now]

Trip gets wormholed into Lead to Light and runs into Caoine

It was the middle of the night, and poor Trip couldn't sleep. With her eyes still closed she wandered through Amy's house in the direction of the kitchen to get a glass of warm milk.

When she opened her eyes again, though, she was definitely not in Amy's kitchen or her house. It was dark, and silent. As Trip turn around she heard her feat echo all around the hollow room. She looked up into the rafters of the large warehouse and saw the stars peeking through the windows near the room.

"Amy?" she called quietly, "Blaze? S-Surge?"

Suddenly, one of the lights turned on and shone down on Trip like a spotlight. She covered her eyes to shield them from the blinding bulbs. After a second she heard footsteps, but not ones that sounded like typical shoes. It sounded like clicking, and it was fast approaching. The sungazer looked around her in panic as it sounded like the sound was surrounding her.

"Wh-Wh-Who's there?!" she shrieked, "L-Leave me alone! Let m-m-me go home!!"

The clicking suddenly stopped, and Trip looked around in terror again. She turned around and was met with two huge bird legs extending upwards. She slowly lifted her gaze until she was face to face with a gigantic gas mask.

"̵̵̵̡̡̛̬̰͖͕͈̼̳̬͇̮ͦ̑́̇ͫ͐̏̍͆ͮ͆̎́ͣ́͐̒͆͆̚͞_̶̮̫̱̜̐ͦ͝͡Ḩ̪͉̙̜̬̣̇̒͑̍ͯ̆̌̋̉ͩ͐̑ȅl̯̥͎͙̗͓̬̥̟̽̿ͬͭͧ͂͊̾̐l̡̧̛̘̐̔ͮ̋ͨ̚ͅó̶̧̧̺̗͈̻̫͖͚̬̥͍̌̄ͣ̇̍̄̓͆͐̑ͦ̚͟͞͡͝͠.̨̟̱͕̺̉"̷̧͚̘̱̜̘̞̯͇̊̔ͩ͆͛̋͑ͥ̈̽̈͠ came a garbled voice, "̶̷̶̠̘̲̹̜̪̜̙̞̩̺̱͕͔̀͗̔͛͒͑ͯ̃͐̾͂̀̾̿̃͌ͦͦ̅̏͊̚̕͡͡͡ͅW̷̮̘̹̭̖̒̈̆̓̄̄ͯ͢͠ͅḩ̷̵̧͚̗͍̜͙̫̹̹̯͇͓̬̤̘̩̬̫̲͉̫̃̿̇ͦͤͫ̃ͧͪ̍͊͆ͧ̇̕͢͡ͅa̵̸̶̴̸̛͓͖̘̣͒ͯ̊͑̈́͆̈́̆ͤ̊̿ͦ̐͒ͧ̐͆̍͌_̘͖̬̓̃̿͑t̩ ą͍̫͈͕̖̙͔̣͓̾͆̔̆ͤ̒̿ͮ̽̌̾̍͘̚ŗ͉̼̙͓̯̩̦̲̥̝͊ͥͮ͒̾ͣ̀̒̾͋͐̒̌̑̈ͬ͌̚͜͠͡ȩ̵̭̮̳̗̗̗̻̫͙̙̈́̇́̍̎̆ͪ̉̈́͗͆̉ͬ͐͊͌͢͟͜͢͡͡ y̸̷̻̗͇̻͈̥͙̠ͬ͋ͤ͂ͩ͊̅̂͘͢͞ͅö̢̪̭͓̠̙͋ͣ͌́̇͢͡u̶̫͇̮̭̤̼͊̉͊̐ͩ̃̚ d̴̛̦̙̹̙͙͙̤͈̳̞̠̼̋́̌ͭ_̮͔̍͋̔͗ͭ͛͢_͈̦͞_ő͈̜̈ͯ̌̚î͇͑ņ̴̵͎̱̙̞̼̠̰͉̜͕͚̖̃͋̌̄ͪ̐̑̔̀͂̂ͣͮ̒͆̓ͣ̂͋͐͢͝_g̦͍̠͉̰̊̔͆͐͂ h̷̡̛̛͓̠͓̰͓̼̯̙͓͍̩͍͐̓͊͑̈́ͨ̆͑̒ͬ̀̎̀̃ͤ̓ͤ̌̄͛̿͂̂͘͟͢͟͟͡͞ͅe̓ŕͨͩe̸̛̤̟̩̩͇͎̟̗͖͙͌́̅͑̔ͣͫ?̛̝̘́͗"̶̷̴̨̛̛͖͕̮̘̙͓̹͔̞̼̘̳̳̜̖̲̣́͆̈͂ͦ͐͗͛ͧͦͬ͂ͮ͆̽ͨͥ͘͢͡͝ͅ

Trip stared up at the monster as it quickly adjusted it's mask.

"My name is Caoine," she said more normally, "What's your name?"

Trip just kept staring.

"...momma..." Trip mumbled as she fainted and fell backwards, right through another wormhole.

Caoine stepped back in surprise, "Aw. I guess she's gone now."

**********

In Amy's bed, Surge stirred from her slumber, and noticed one of her bedmates was missing.

"W'r th' f'ck 's Tr'p?" she mumbled.

Trip fell down from the ceiling, flat on her back, startling all three of the girls still in bed.

Thinking more about RoR surge having inter dimensional surge interactions for real because I’m a big stupid indulgent nerd

Pines and Needles: The hoodie and mask trick would also work on her just as well as everyone in town, and as long as she had it on she would probably refer to her as some sort of rogue luchadore. When she took it off she’d absolutely pretend she knew it was her the whole time though. Honestly would probably get along alright with her, their dispositions are pretty similar. Would probably make fun of her (very lightly) about once being a science dweeb, but sympathize with her confrontation of loss of self. She would compliment her on her taste in women and also want to slam dunk every member of Pharmakon except Oleander straight into a toilet so they would most likely bond over that too.

Jade Surge: I think she’d have a hard time getting along with Jade Surge, mostly because of the concept that she had settled down to some degree. Even if RoR Surge is nicer than she used to be she is absolutely still caught in the punk rock delusion of “I am never gonna get old and I will never stop rocking motherfucker.” The idea that she’s got so much more of a cozy life and learned, at least to some degree, how to stop running from everything. She might be able to at least learn a few good lessons out of that interaction though.

Lead to Light: Again, compliments abound on her taste in women though I think she would (hypocritically since all of her confidence with that kind of stuff is surface level) tell her to get it over with and just smooch the sheep. Would probably be abjectly horrified at this universe’s version of the Metal Virus and the idea that her actions or behavior could ever be subjected to it in some way. She’d view being swept up in its whims as no different than being controlled by Starline or anyone else. Would also probably strongly encourage her to get this version of Tangle and Whisper to get their goddamn act together, but would somehow end up making things worse

*a tall, horrifically proportioned gas mask wearing shrike walks up behind Ashley*

"Ɨ łɨꝁɇ ɏøᵾɍ mɇŧȺł Ⱥɍm."

Ashley turned around, and her jaw was immediately on the floor at the sight of the person (or thing) behind her. It didn’t immediately kill her, so maybe she was safe?

“Um… th-thank you-“

“̶͖̀M̴̖̋a̵͚̕ẏ̴̞ ̷̠̽Ȉ̸̗ ̶̨́f̴̧̈é̴̩e̵̫̅l̸̰̓ ̶̮͑ị̶́t̵̜͝?̸̪̊”̴̝̂

The leopard jolted at the sound of its voice, and its odd request.

But hey, if that lessens her chance of possibly getting decapitated, that’s fine with her.

“Uh… sure.” She shakily raised it up. “G-go nuts.”

She saw the shrike’s disproportionate arm stretch out, and soothingly caress the robotic arm. But Ashley still didn’t look away. She was horrified what would become of her if she did.

“̸̱́Ẁ̵̘ő̷͇w̸̮̚.̶̙̊ ̵͈̚S̶̗̚ó̶͖ ̴̝̕ĉ̶̖o̵͍̚ĺ̶͉d̶͌͜,̴͓̾ ̷̖̎a̶̢͝n̴̗̂d̴̥̏…̶͚͊ ̸̺͊s̵̨̽t̵̪͋i̸͉̽f̸͚͘f̷̝͊.̸̖́”̷̮̌

And suddenly, it blipped out of existence. At least, that’s what it looked like.

The leopard still had her robotic arm out, trembling.

Not even her encounter with Surge frightened her this much.

Surge in any AU/fic where she gets a redemption arc

[lead-to-light]

To Sonic, Shadow, and Surge. How do you three keep your quills/hair so nice? I can imagine all that running and fighting makes managing it a bit of a hassle at times.

Sonic gave a thumbs up, “I use shampoo and conditioner made for quills. I like to get the lilac scented ones.”

Shadow nodded, “As do I. But I prefer lavender scented ones.”

Surge tilted her head in confusion, “Wait, there's products just for quills?”

The two hedgehogs turned to her slowly. It was Shadow who spoke first, “What did you just say?”

“Surge….how do you wash your quills?” Sonic asked carefully.

“With a bar of soap?” Surge didn't understand why it was such a big deal.

Both of them gasped and covered their mouths in horror. “I'm going to get Amy!” Sonic shouted before zooming off.

Shadow pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number. “Who are you calling?” Surge asked in growing confusion.

“Rouge. If you're doing your quills wrong who knows what else you're doing wrong. We will require her money and expertise in self-care for this. Amy should be enough but I don't want to leave anything to chance,” Shadow said sternly.

Before she could respond to this however, Sonic had returned with Amy. The pink hedgehog was immediately upon her, shaking the tenrec’s shoulders in distress, “YOU'VE BEEN USING BAR SOAP ON YOUR QUILLS?!”

“Y-yeah?” Surge said in a small voice.

“WHAT KIND?!”

Surge smiled weakly, “Irish Spring?”

Amy recoiled as if struck. Looking her dead in the eyes she said, “Surge, we are getting you everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, you need to properly take care of your quills and fur. This is not up to debate. This is what's happening and that's final. We are helping you today.”

Surge, still not entirely used to people showing concern for her well-being, just nodded.

[themightyhumanbroom]

Well it's now Canon in my AU at least.

i know archie isn't canon but i hope shadow painting his bike still is

[purplink8]

My Lawlight headcanon is that-

L fell first:

But Light fell harder:

__________________________________________

Yeah yeah, I'm well aware that the first friend scene was a lie from L's side and a mind game from both sides- BUT look at Light's FACE (and no Light's a good actor but this split second of '...' + transparent eyes is not a performance imho)

He's genuinely stunned (translation: L broke him for a moment there lmao it's like, during that single moment, they're the only ones in the room!) BEFORE he realizes that they are playing a role here in front of the task force. As Ryuga and Light; which is what he tells Ryuk later:

(His eyes are hidden *clenches fists* Light is emotionally affected and does not want anybody to know that L got him. Again.

Except this time, he feels humiliated in a strange sort of way.

Despite everything, including the whole 'enemies till death do we part' thing they have going on? Light enjoyed his time with L (albeit not without the collateral damage of other people dying but I digress). He DID like playing tennis with Ryuga as he tells him. That part's not a lie! L being a good friend is not true though.

L does not want Light as his friend for real. He's bullshitting as always to catch Light off guard. This isn't new. But it. is. Personal (to Light, at least).

Only it shouldn't be! This is all part of their game, isn't it? Then why does Light feel a bit...disappointed due to it not being real? In an alternate universe, would he have liked truly being L's friend?

No! Of course not, that is a ridiculous line of thought! Additionally, just 2 chapters ago, Light was like:

Can you see the lawlight and yagamane parallels here? L intends to catch Kira!Light and poses an execution threat to Light while Misa means to date Light and poses some threats of her own:

Both L and Misa come on too strongly toward Light (one as an enemy and the other as a potential ally). Light merely wants to get rid of them both so as to achieve his keikaku with ease. While dealing with Misa, Light thinks, 'I'll be killing her eventually...I can't develop feelings. That's how most idiots screw up.'

Notice how similar this is when it comes to his dynamic with L as well? He has to kill the latter eventually too and his reaction (to when he's confronted with the fact that Rem *can* kill L at his immediate request before the fiasco of Misa getting arrested happens at least) is this below btw:

The guy is truly shocked at how easy it seems to kill someone as intelligent as L. Light does not smile or seem amused. He takes this (L's future death) very seriously (I think it's the first time he does this since his first two kills). I believe it's partly due to the begrudging respect he has toward the genius detective and partly because of the 'what-if's in his mind.

His eyes, blown wide, are unreadable except for the astonished look they show. It is a rare display of emotion we see from Light (I can't seem to pinpoint just what the emotion is tho) which is quite noteworthy imho.

________________________________________

...Wow I got carried away.

The point is! Light feels a little humiliated for letting his emotions get the better of him even if it was for just an instant during which he was gobsmacked by L's lie which he wished for it to be true.

Light can rationalize it all he wants but deep down, in his heart, he'd always know that there was a period of time (however small) that he not only fell for L's lie, but also secretly under LAYERS of repression actually just wanted to live in that world- the world where there was neither L nor Kira, just Ryuga and his friend Light.

That's wishful thinking and boy would Light hate this if he acknowledged for even a second that yes, he does want that.)

Again. Light 'Developing Feelings = Idiotic Screw ups' Yagami cannot afford to deceive himself that L, on some level, wants to befriend him as that may as well cost his life if he did. He cannot get distracted as that was most definitely one of L's intentions of calling him his 'first friend'.

He'll dutifully play along as he had anticipated it a while ago:

"I like this, Ryuga. If you want to be friends with me. I'll gladly hang out with you."

Light sure looks thrilled as hell to be role-playing as L's friend lmao- like he loves mind games, he revels in duplicity, he enjoys challenges that L adds to his life so is it any wonder that the combination of all is *chef's kiss* for Light? He is so so EXCITED to be hanging out with L face-to-face + looks forward to stabbing him in the back!!

Gotta love lawlight! </3 <3

Hamefura Light Novel 13 AU Bad Ending.

Hello! I been taking my time doing this so I hope you enjoy it. It's the snake year so I told myself I had to finish it this month!

So yeah, it's an ending where Katarina kills all the members of the organization that were send to hunt María and her family.

Originally, I was planning to do a Horror Yuri Anthology but I'm not sure if you would be interested, let me know what you think!

In this bad ending, María is being protected by Katarina until the bitter end, where our villainess loses it. It's an horror ending if you think about it right?

Anyway, I have more fanfics I want to adapt but I'm looking for a job right now so only time will tell!

[themightyhumanbroom]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/54661183/chapters/138521068

I actually wrote them interacting in the first two chapters of this fic I wrote if you're interested.

I wanna lock them in a room together and study the results

Power Rangers: Prime Suspects - Bowen

Ankash the Phoenix Knight

same as ever, story stuff under the cut!!

Ever since Udonna first established Root Core, Clare has fought threats from Repulsa forces, Dark Magic users, anyone wishing to invade the last bastion of Good Magic on Earth. None so persistent as Ankash the Phoenix Knight, lifelong loyal servant of the Master. Ankash wields the Knight Saber, sword of his late mentor, Koragg, and transforms using a mysterious claw-like morpher infused with his Dark Magic. On orders from his Master, who wants to claim their power for himself to overthrow Rita's rule, he now targets this mysterious new Green and Pink Ranger pair. Intent on killing three Rangers with one blade, he backs them into a corner and forces them to seek refuge at Root Core, knowing that the Gatekeeper would never turn away someone in need. What he didn't count on, though, was these strangers' knowledge of another world. One where his life took a much different turn. A turn that may not be out of reach for him, if he just accepts the hand reached out to him.
